Lorenzo drove Mia to Deer Garden, located at Juntan Fall, one of the high end district in M city. Deer Garden was Lorenzo's private property, it was discovered by him during his younger days in one of his adventures with his friends, then the lands at Juntan Fall weren't developed and wasn't as expensive as it was now, he bought the place and hasn't visited it much in years but he could still remember that it has one of the most amazing scenic view in M city.
When they reached Deer Garden, the gates were opened by a security personnel and was closed immediately they drove in. Mia became alert regretting why she agreed to Lorenzo's offer. They got down from the car and Mia saw a small house by the side.
What is this place? She asked Lorenzo.
It's called Deer Garden, let me show you around, Lorenzo said leading Mia to the garden area that was hidden from the entrance.
On getting to the garden, Mia was surprised at how beautiful and serene it looked , the garden was a tranquil oasis that exceeded her expectations. The garden's beauty was understated yet captivating, with lush greenery and vibrant flowers that seemed to dance in the gentle breeze. The soft chirping of birds and the gentle rustle of leaves created a soothing melody that calmed her mind and senses. A gentle waterfall cascaded down a rocky slope, its crystal clear waters tumbling into a serene pond, creating a mesmerizing display of sound and sight. The sweet fragrance of blooming flowers enveloped her, transporting her to a state of serenity and peace. As she wandered through the meandering paths, the roar of the waterfall grew louder, drawing her closer to its misty veil.
Wow, it's so beautiful, Mia said, I never knew that there was such a beautiful place like this in M city, tell me how did you discover this place? Mia asked looking at Lorenzo.
I own it, he answered honestly.
You own it? Mia asked again surprised that a taxi driver could own a place like this, the area looked expensive and she knew that the lands here would be really expensive, maybe it was his family property, Mia concluded focusing on feeling the environment.
Lorenzo watched her as she played around with the water, looking at the flowers strangely and running to catch up with the flying birds.
After some minutes of looking around, Mia was finally tired, as Mia sat on the garden floor, she witnessed a heartwarming scene unfold before her eyes. A bird, its leg tangled in a twig, struggled to free itself. Its mate, noticing its distress, flew to its side and began to gently peck at the twig, carefully working to loosen its grip. With each gentle touch, the stuck bird's struggles grew weaker, until finally, its leg was freed. The two birds embraced, their beaks touching in a tender kiss. They sang a sweet melody, their joy and love palpable in the air.
Mia's eyes welled up with tears, moved by the birds' selfless love and devotion.
Inspired by this poignant moment, Mia envisioned a necklace that would capture the essence of love. She imagined a delicate design, with two birds entwined, their legs forming a heart shape. The necklace would symbolize the power of love to free us from life's entanglements, just as the birds had freed each other.
With renewed creativity and passion, Mia brought out her sketch book to sketch the design for the necklace "Love" , a testament to the transformative power of love and nature's beauty.
Lorenzo watched her as she was focused on sketching her design, she was so beautiful and unaware of the stares she was getting from Lorenzo.
After some hours, Mia was finally done with the preliminary sketch, she needed to do more research in order to know what to add to the finishing of the design. She yawned tiredly looking up to the sky, it's so late already, I have to go.
Lorenzo saw that she was standing up, done already? He asked.
Mia knew that he had stayed there with her throughout the time, she wondered if he didn't need to go out to work but decided not to bother him since he didn't seem to disturb her.
Yes am done, thank you for bringing me here, I really appreciate that, she said thanking Lorenzo.
It's my pleasure Miss, you can come here anytime you want to, I will inform the security to let you in, Qin Yan said.
That would be really nice.
I will take you home, Lorenzo offered.
Uhmm, thank you, Mia said. Her stomach suddenly growled embarrassingly,Mia's cheeks flushed slightly as she laughed nervously, "I guess I'm hungry", she didn't have lunch at the office because she was in a bad mood.
Why don't we go eat before I take you home, I know of a nice place to eat, am also hungry,
Lorenzo suggested again.
Mia thought about it and finally agreed, she was really starving and would faint from hunger if she didn't eat soon.
They went back to the entrance, got into the car and drove out of Deer Garden.
As they were driving, what would you like to eat? Lorenzo suddenly asked.
Mia blushed at his question, he sounded like a boyfriend who was asking his girlfriend what she would like to eat, he was only a taxi driver, why does he have to be so charming? Mia thought to herself forgetting to answer the question.
I said what would you like to eat? Lorenzo asked again looking at her this time.
Anything is fine and look at the road, I don't want to get into an accident, Mia answered flustered.
Lorenzo laughed subtly at her statement focusing on the road and driving quietly.
Mia caught the smile on his face and wondered what was funny.
